There isn't any reasonable reason to delete anything unless the request 
is filed in accordance with privacy regulations and under some section 
of legislation related to privacy regulations. Even then it isn't really 
possible. Simply because, as stated, the data is replicated in many 
places all over the world.

ps: section 7 of privacy act in Canada and PIPEDA may apply but
      neither controls the rise and set of the sun thus neither
      could remove replicated data all over the world.
